Horizon Petroleum provides update on first production in Poland

Since being granted the Cieszyn and Bielsko Biala licences on 19 November 2024 by the Polish government, the company has been preparing for the planned workover at the Lachowice 7 (L7) well and subsequent installation of an early production and sales facility.

Assuming a successful workover result, gas and/or electrical power sales from the L7 well will provide the company with its first cashflow and will provide a long-term test of the production performance of the naturally fractured, Devonian aged, limestone and dolomite reservoirs in the L7 well.

Early production system (EPF)

The company hired an electrical engineering company and a mechanical engineering company in Poland to review options to monetise gas production from the Lachowice gas field. The options considered were:

• Gas to Power: approximately 1.5 million ft³/d gas stream from L7 is processed and fed into an electrical generation facility with a nominal generation capacity of 6 MW. This electricity can be tied into existing local grids at a number of locations within 4 km of the L7 location.
• Gas Tie-in: a third-party evaluation has identified a high-pressure gas grid tie-in point approximately 12 km northeast of L7, half the distance of the previous plan, which is expected to result in greatly reduced pipeline costs and faster approvals.
• LNG or compressed natural gas (CNG): exploring trucking and marketing options for moving LNG or CNG to nearby sales points. The preliminary design of the gas processing facility that will be required to separate the liquid condensate and any free water from the L7 gas stream has been completed. The Company has commenced sourcing the required vessels and other process equipment.

The company is targeting gas/electricity sales and first cash flow by 1Q26.
